Marrying style, serenity

T HE bathroom is more than just a functional space – it is where your day begins and ends. From invigorating showers that energise your mornings to quiet moments of self care before bed, this space shapes your daily rituals, offering a haven for mindfulness and rejuvenation. For beauty entrepreneur and influencer Jane Chuck, the bathroom plays a vital role in her busy life. As a CEO and mother to her son August, she masterfully juggles parenting duties while leading her brand Motherchuckers. To create a space that balances beauty, tranquillity and practicality, Jane collaborated with interior designer Ben Tay, who is also the co-founder and design principal of Studio BBB. Together, with the innovative surfaces of Cosentino, they brought her vision of a serene yet functional mid-century sanctuary to life. Spa-like master bathroom to start and end day right While practicality is essential, the bathroom can also be a serene retreat in your home. Jane envisioned her master bathroom as a bright, warm space that felt cheerful during the early mornings yet relaxing and serene in the evenings. “I wanted my bathroom to feel like a spa – a place where I could unwind and recharge,” she shared. Tay drew inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian homes, infusing the space with mid-century charm and a contemporary touch. “The master bathroom balances tones and textures to create a space of quiet respite,” he explained. For the flooring and vanity, Jane chose Dekton Marmorio from the Chuck’s mid-century bathroom sanctuary o Inside beauty entrepreneur Jane

Complemented by the bright, warm light, the textured floor really created a calm, cosy atmosphere,” Jane said. “The striations in Dekton Marmorio beautifully contrast with the mosaic-tiled walls and the intricate makore pommele veneer of the vanity cabinet, enhancing the bathroom’s sense of serenity,” Tay added.
